High Tide

Sail me city to heavens below Sail me city into depths of dark Sail me city into the hook of the estuary Sail me city to the clutch of the heart Unto the high seas Under surfaces Through sunken shadows From old oil-lit[?] shores To the feline jaw Of a tidal swish And the bright-eyed bite Of the cormorant Sail me city to heavens below Sail me city into depths of dark Sail me city into the hook of the estuary Sail me city to the clutch of the heart I want the wild wet And the long depths Strong undertow And tidal concerns But the harbour lights Are drawing me in I fear dry land Sand banks and stone Sail me city to heavens below Sail me city into depths of dark Sail me city into the hook of the estuary Sail me city to the clutch of the heart And hold me river In the filth of the storm Bring salt from my paws Let my eyes colour dawn City sail me away from settled land Into ocean's wreck and wrath Back into land (Back into land) Back into land (Back into land) Back into land Please do not leave me earthbound (Sail me city to heavens below) Please do not leave me earthbound (Sail me city into depths of dark) Please do not leave me earthbound (Sail me city into the hook of the estuary) Please do not leave me earthbound
